Made myself a couple of plain hunting horns an each has different use. The first holds Fg powder that I use in my 12 ga smoothbore an the second holds FFg that I use in my 54s. Both are right side double twist that I mounted with pine plugs held in with brass nails. The straps are just some scrap leathe that I had around an needed used. Both are air tight an fit my side like a glove. I just eyballed everything so what ya see is what ya get. Hope ya like

Plain? Well that settles if I am going to show any pictures of what I have done. They look great. You can consider mine umm more plain and leave it at that.

Red I used a small fiddle peg from track of the wolf on the top horn an on the bottom horn I whittled out a piece of curly maple that I had left over from a rifle build. You probably cant tell but if ya hold the bottom horn up to the sun you can see how much powder is in it
